However, if you want to install a malware protection kit, head over to SpyBot. SpyBot is a free software that is available for Windows. This tool comes in three different editions. You can purchase a license key to get more features. However, before purchasing, you can also try the free edition to be familiarized with this.

Cost and System Requirements

The official website of this software has no such information about the system requirements. But, I think you can install it on latest Windows versions including Windows 10 Technical Preview, Windows 8.1, 8 as well as Windows 7.

You can download it at free of cost but the free version has some limitations. If you don’t need any barriers, you can purchase the Home Edition that costs $13.99 or Professional Edition that costs $25.99 only.

Features of SpyBot

It has numerous features and all of them are much useful. Not anybody should take more than two minutes to understand the feature list and implement it in his /her PC.

Scan Rootkit

This is an advanced system for malware to be hidden. Malware can use Rootkit to prevent itself from being caught by any antivirus or malware protection kit. However, SpyBot can scan and find Rootkits from your system. This is really a useful feature and unique feature.

Editor’s Note

I have used the free version of SpyBot and got a good result. Therefore, I think you should the premium version because it should provide a good service. The free version itself is great. Therefore, there is a high chance to get better features and experience as well as service on the premium version.
